Tips for TTC

My partner and I have just began ttc. I’ve taken loads of pregnancy tests this month but besides one false positive (evap line) they’re all a hard negative. My period is due in 3 days but i’m feeling doubtful. I’ve started tracking my ovulation with flo & ovulation test strips. Any other tips? thanks girlies 🎀

False positives?

Has anyone had this? No line visible within the 3-5 minute window, then at about 15 minutes it is much more visible. Is that normal? Or a false positive? (I am testing early)
